Outspoken politician Chuka Umunna says it is too early to tell what a Labour government would mean for the City of London, despite assurances from the shadow chancellor that the party has no surprises in store for the UK’s financial community.

Umunna said it would be “completely disingenuous” to deny that City firms the Labour MP for Streatham has spoken to have voiced concerns about the prospect of a Jeremy Corbyn-led government.
